Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Find yourself a mirror that will show your entire body, and dance in front of it!. Watch well what you do and try to be the most harmonious in your moves as possible!. If you want, ask one of your friends to show you some of their moves/how they can dance!.

Don't be afraid of dancing!. Dancing, in any form, is a beautiful way of expression!. Don't be scared of screwing up -- if you actually do mess up somewhere just try to smooth the move over!. If you need courage remember that pro dancers perform in front of thousands of people at a time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I had that problem as well, and even though Im still not the greatest dancer I can somewhat dance!. All you need to do is practice dance moves slowly!. I know you'll probably see you friends learning fast, but if you practice the dance moves slowly while you're at home or something, it will really help!. also try to do some exercises that can increase your flexibility!. These will also help you loosen up a bit!.

And to help you feel more confident just bust out a music video or song that makes you want to dance and try to make up some natural moves of your own!.

i have the SAME problemm! i dont know any videos =/ but i do know that the main problem (for me and many ppl) is loosening up!. try to be as loose as possible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

just listen to the beat of the music and make something up! that's wat i do and i am pretty good at dancing trust me!. if you screw up act like its part of your dance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was nervous at my first school dance (partly beause I had just transfered there) But I relized that if you just put being embarresd aside and just dance for the fun of it, you actually have fun!. So what if they laugh at you or you do something embarrasing!. Its your thought that counts: If your having fun then just think about having fun! It works!. If you still want to learn dances moves than go on youtube and search up: Hip hop dances moves or how to learn chearleading dance moves it helped me alot!. Another thing you can do is get a big mirror so you can see your whole body head from toe and practice with that!. After you figure out your dance moves then call over your frineds and perform for them so you wont get as might stage fright as I would call it!. then pop in a CD and take your dance moves form there!.
Hope it works! =] My Email is Racheyyy_baby@yahoo!.com if you have anymore questions!. Dont be afraid to ask me I am like a pro at dancing now!

Good Luck! =]Www@QuestionHome@Com
